Why it's free to use

• Filed October 21, 1983 and granted July 10, 1984. A patent filed before June 8, 1995 lasts 17 years from grant or 20 from filing, whichever is longer, so its term ended October 21, 2003.
• Any extension is capped at five years, so it can't still be in force.
• We haven't checked its US family, and a later related patent could still be in force. We check US rights only.
